Wu Qiming's words indeed shocked Dharma King Youyun, but it was not because he was moved, but because he was angry. He had been practicing shadow-taking skills for decades, how could he not know that Wu Qiming's words were not without purpose.
Cultivation that focuses on the seven emotions is inherently elusive. It was only after his family and family were nearly destroyed that he reached the realm of the ninth-level shadowing skill. The road to further progress has actually been in front of him for a long time, but he has never dared to face it.
The little demon girl Qu Lianqin is the only bloodline of King Youyun, and she is also his favorite granddaughter. After years of accumulation, this feeling has almost occupied all of his heart.
A white-haired person giving a black-haired person a gift is undoubtedly the saddest thing in the world. If the little demon girl dies, then the carefree and grief-stricken Dharma King Youyun may really be able to reach that peak state.
But, he can't do it.
"Pity."
Wu Qiming shook his head. He looked at the angry eyes of Dharma King Youyun and said with regret, "If I were willing to take action, maybe today could have a different ending."
Dharma King Youyun said coldly: "Master Wu seems to have convinced me that you are not as good as me in martial arts competition. Even if you add this underground mechanism, you can only be able to tie with me."
"Well said."
Wu Qiming nodded calmly. He kicked the ground with his foot and said with a smile: "Brother Youyun has a keen eye. There is a large array of mechanisms specially prepared for you underground by me."
Facing Wu Qiming's admission, His Majesty Youyun showed no fear at all. He said indifferently: "I have already said that Master Wu, your efforts are just in vain."
"Brother Youyun is too confident."
As he spoke, the trap under Wu Qiming's feet had begun to operate. Countless flying knives and hidden weapons were shot at King Youyun from all directions. The latter used the Dark Death Palm again, creating a series of black seals and shooting down all the hidden weapons.
When Wu Qiming saw this, he was not discouraged. Instead, he further activated more agencies. The trails here were sparsely populated, high in mountains and densely forested, which was a good place to set traps.
As he took action again, countless iron spears fell from the air, breaking the big tree at the feet of King Youyun. The opponent fell to the ground again, and the black gas clouds rolled away, blasting away the falling iron fence like a withered stone.
.
"Um?"
King Youyun, who had once again repelled the trap, suddenly noticed something was wrong. Although the traps set by Wu Qiming were extremely sophisticated, they were really not good enough in terms of killing and killing. Given his ability, this was not the case.
Suspicious clouds arose in King Youyun's mind, and he became more conservative in his movements. Wu Qiming seemed to be aware of it, and immediately waved his hand and threw countless flying knives. The silver light flashed like a star in the sky. As the light dissipated, the whole land began to shake.
Get up and all the mechanisms are activated at once.
From top to bottom, from front to back, all the way King Youyun retreated were attacked by mechanisms, whether they were wooden mallets or iron bars, and there were also rains of darts and arrows in the sky. Countless people appeared on the ground near him.
There is a hollow, and one of the sharp thorns spurts out.
"This is the mechanism array that I spent seven days preparing. Please give it a try, Brother Youyun." Wu Qiming said, slowly retreating, and gradually disappeared in the chaotic rain of leaves.
"That's all."
King Youyun waved his hands like wheels, and the black energy was like a huge cloak protecting him. Although the hidden weapons that came at him were vast, none of them could hurt him.
But the more this happened, the more doubts in the heart of Dharma King Youyun became deeper. While using his skills to resist the hidden weapons from all sides, he looked around calmly.
The mechanism array set up by Wu Qiming was not so much about killing people as it was about trapping him. The iron bars falling all around were like a huge cage, dragging his footsteps tightly.
The more King Youyun thought about it, the more frightened he became. He calmed down and knew that he must not follow the other party's wishes, so he raised a black tornado with one hand to protect himself, and held a black seal with the other hand, intending to break it at the right moment.
This annoying formation.
At this moment, another wave of arrow rain struck, this time not from top to bottom, but from bottom to top. The arrows buried in the ground flew out, causing King Youyun to have to spend more time on defense.
.
But in the rain of arrows that shot up into the sky, a flying fireball shot straight into the sky, and with a loud explosion, a brilliant firework exploded in the sky. King Youyun was immediately startled. That was
The trumpet arrow of the Jin Yiwei.
Just as the fireworks exploded, two earth-shaking roars suddenly came from deep in the mountain forest, startling countless birds. King Youyun stared at the flocks of fleeing birds in the sky, and a touch of panic suddenly emerged.
heart.
At this moment, the death prophecy of the Xiaoyao Sect suddenly exploded in his mind, and Dharma King Youyun caught a strange wind sound in his ears. In just a moment, the wind sound turned into a life-threatening scream.
Dharma King Youyun subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw two iron balls that were as big as a human head falling at his feet. The moment they hit the ground, countless tongues of fire burst out, and the surging fire dragon instantly rushed in front of him, accompanied by
The terrifying explosion engulfed him completely.
Rumble——!!
Terrifying explosions resounded across the sky, and strong winds suddenly rose around the mountains, like thunder exploding from the sky. In an instant, sand and rocks flew, the ground cracked and rocks collapsed, and a huge wind wave spread like a tsunami.
"Oh, perfect hit."
In the distance, Lu Hanjiang straightened the ends of his hair that had been blown by the wind and waves. At this moment, holding a telescope, he could clearly see that the place where Dharma King Youyun was was engulfed in dust, smoke and flames.
Behind him were a group of well-equipped imperial guards and the frightened Huangfu Xiaoyuan. Beside this group of people, there were two copper and iron objects weighing a thousand kilograms. On its cylindrical opening, at this moment,
There was also light white smoke coming out.
The full name of this thing is the Earth-Shaking Divine Power General. To explain it in layman’s terms, it’s an artillery piece.
In this era, muskets had already been invented, but due to their high cost, limited practicality, and staggering maintenance costs, they were not widely used by the imperial army. Today, the best solution for long-range offensives is still crossbows.
As for the artillery, which is a step further than the musket, it was not invented by Lu Hanjiang, but something that the imperial court already owned. However, this thing is different from the musket. It is a real important weapon of the country.
Ordinary people in the world may have occasionally heard of the reputation of muskets, but few people know how powerful artillery is. Even the adults in the court have only heard of its reputation. Few people know how powerful this artillery is.
Even Lu Hanjiang had never really seen the power of this artillery, so he was particularly curious. This time he used the old emperor's tiger skin as a banner and snatched two of them from the Ministry of War for fun.
Lu Hanjiang put down the telescope in his hand and asked with great interest: "You said that these martial arts masters are invulnerable to swords and guns without moving their hands, and are invulnerable to water and fire. They can split mountains and rocks with just a wave of their hands, and cut iron with wooden swords. I am really curious. What kind of flesh and blood are they?
Can the body withstand artillery bombardment?"
The Jinyi guards behind him all lowered their heads, not knowing how to answer. In front of the divine cannon, these old people who had followed Lu Hanjiang for many years, their mental endurance was not much better than that of Huangfu Xiaoyuan.
Under the influence of Confucianism, there is a word that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people called Youshang Tianhe. In fact, since the birth of artillery, its use in actual combat has been extremely limited. It is usually used to bombard city walls in siege battles.
If there is no choice, almost no one would aim this thing at people. Who dares to use such divine weapons for killing, the group of masters above the court will definitely make you infamy for thousands of years, so since the founding of this dynasty
, Lu Hanjiang was the first to hit someone with artillery.
